About the Couple

The Proposal

I’m Elizabeth, a travel nurse from Canada. I came to Texas on my very first contract during the pandemic, hoping to make some money and see more of the country. When I arrived in San Antonio, I decided to download Tinder to meet some new people and have a bit of fun. As I started matching with people, I realized I couldn’t make plans without knowing my work schedule, so I held off on committing to anything.

The moment my manager sent me my first week’s schedule, I was lying in bed after a night shift. I rolled over, grabbed my phone, scrolled through my messages, and found Ryan’s profile. Without hesitation, I sent him a message: “Friday works for me!” Little did I know, that would be the last message I ever sent to another match. Over the next few weeks, Ryan and I spent all our time together, exploring San Antonio and going on the best dates.

Fast forward three years to Christmas. Ryan and I were rushing to get ready for family lunch when he suddenly called me back, saying I’d forgotten one of my gifts. I turned around to see him reaching for the bookshelf in our living room, and then he got down on one knee. I immediately covered my eyes and started crying and so did he. Thankfully, my sister was there to catch the whole moment on camera and video.

Why do you want to capture your wedding on video?

I get emotional watching videos of other peoples' weddings. I think it's such a special memory that I
want to have forever. Not to mention it's probably the most beautiful I will ever look and it would be
​very nice to remember that forever.

Why did you choose us?

Christopher, your editing style is truly my favorite. Your videos go beyond being simple slow motion clips strung together, they are cinematic masterpieces that tell a beautiful story. I admire your creative vision and artistry. I’m so excited to see how you capture my friends and family on camera and film.

You guys? …What do you do?..How do you spend your days?.. What’s important in life?

Ryan works with farmers, a salesmen in our small area (Uvalde). I am a nurse working night shift of
busy medsurg units (any adult admitted to the hospital will be a patient of mine). We have two dogs
and love couch cuddles with them. We make dinner together most nights, sometimes with a favourite
record in the background. We both enjoy lifting weights at the local crossfit gym. We very much enjoy
escaping for weekend getaways even as close as San Antonio or Wimberley, Texas. Ryan enters local
shoots (guns) and regularly scores in the top 5 driving all over the state to complete. We also love
hiking together and exploring national parks.

The Venue. Why did you choose it above anywhere else?

We had our hearts set on a destination wedding before stumbling across the beauty of Rio Bella
Resort. I love the deep greens and blues of the area and never thought I could find something so lush
​and beautiful in Texas. Who knew it was right up the road from us?

What experience do you want to give to your guests?

We want them to have so much fun! We have a great band coming and we want it to feel so laid back
and like a fun night out. We plan a taco bar and mac n cheese bar, nothing stuffy or awkward, just
​people we love enjoying other people we love.

Dates are limited for 2025-2026 and bookings are on a first come, first served basis. Please contact us below for more detailed information on our wedding packages and availability.
